Don’t F**k With Christian Doctrine

“Don’t F**k With Christian Doctrine” by Shawn McCraney critiques the manipulation and institutionalization of Christian doctrine over centuries, arguing that dogmatic traditions have distorted biblical truth and replaced spiritual freedom with control for the sake of building the church. The book differentiates between theology and doctrine, highlighting how conflating them leads to confusion and how material religion’s relevance ended nearly 2,000 years ago. It emphasizes and justifies that no denomination or leader holds a monopoly on truth, advocating for faith to be lived subjectively and for spiritual liberty to be found in love rather than theological conformity.
